The Ugly Truth about PAY to WIN in Last War

[@LORDSHOCKA]

Just want to say i appreciate the conversations and opinions in the chat. I did not make this video to say whales are the issue rather the original game design that led to the polarizing updates and changes. i.e. the whales getting mad the devs actually slowed development with oil, but then releasing the gorilla, which is not accessible to use by a majority of players for a long time.

[@HenryOManly]

Nah you're good. We're cordial. I like talking about this stuff.

[@HenryOManly]

I think the real problem is that some servers seem way more toxic than others. I've seen a lot of people having issues with Koreans especially or the servers in the 1000s because they sent people who couldn't keep up with their server to the 1000 ones.

[@LORDSHOCKA]

@HenryOManly and that may be the only issue people have with whales. If things go South and the whale goes off the rails, everyone suffers because there is no stopping them and they are stuck or quit.

[@lubu5950]

I totally agree with you. As tome goes by and reaching season 2, it really opens up this conversation and the gap between even the low and mid spenders and whales grow so big that im not enjoying the game as much. I am a mid spender and am finding the balancing is off like you said but still playing the game because i truly like the game a lot and see many potential

[@LORDSHOCKA]

Thats the general mentality of a lot of f2p, mid spenders. There's potential, but will things actually work out sooner than later.

[@heezydagod4eva891]

You’re absolutely right, so many servers are being affected by the big spenders and it definitely makes playing this game less enjoyable

[@HenryOManly]

How? How do they affect you at all?

[@LORDSHOCKA]

@heezydagod4eva891 i think it comes down to making the players feel involved and that they can contribute. I know a F2P player with 16m kills.

[@LORDSHOCKA]

@@heezydagod4eva891 but if they just terrorize and bully, then yea, it's a quick way to make lots quit or feel irrelevant

[@NaP608]

I hope the goal here is for the community to demand balance, because if you are waiting for the develops to stop choosing the money.. you gonna wait a long time..

[@LORDSHOCKA]

@NaP608 You are right. Money talks, but the little guy is what keeps games alive in the long run. I hope they find a balance or create an environment that is fun more "most" players. Can't please everyone

[@pkkkks]

While there is people spending alot i don't think things change much, sometimes game is desapointing, even you spend some you get smashed, but what you are going to do, if someone spends 50k in the game, the least they can get is to influence and boss arround their servers lol

[@LORDSHOCKA]

@pkkkks i dont disagree that of you spend and have the power that you shouldn't have the respect and influence, but when it's used to cause chaos and frustration, it kills servers. I know a lot of players that did a 180 when they realized they needed everyone's help to win server wars. It was a new game not too long ago and people were learning.

[@jack123ryyan]

I would think twice before playing any other chinese games in future. Games are made to be fun not to be stressful lol

[@emmanuelpoblete7424]

what i hate the most is the transfer surge lol, that sht ruins the balance between servers. they think that it will help dead servers to be more alive, but in reality super whales are just grouping themselves in one server making it super server. server merge is better than this BS transfer sht

[@walkingwiththelordjesuschr3077]

Im in grouping 197 - 230 and theres multiple players with over 70mil a squads. Its absoultely ridiculous. VIP 18's mainly from our grouping of whales. VIP 18 players have spent in excess of 200k USD.

[@LORDSHOCKA]

@@walkingwiththelordjesuschr3077 i know who you are talking about. I'm in with about 4 of them in 71-96

[@williamhorn4290]

If anything there should be server where spending real money is disabled. There problem fixed! Im f2p lvl 30hq 27mill squads, all exclusive weapons unlocked at the time and im having a blast. Sure there are a few whales around but the server has a somewhat strong peace so waring only happens during weekends so i cant complain plus my alliance is awesome so there is that too. Honestly i keep playing because of the connections and people i've met in game over the months, fuck elitism xD

[@LORDSHOCKA]

@@williamhorn4290 great to hear. Making connections and having fun is a huge key to enjoying the game long term.

[@walkingwiththelordjesuschr3077]

Im in server 216 and have been playing for over a year and spent a fair share. This game is geared towards money (pay to win). And...this game will die soon if they continue to bend their knee to the 5-10% of the players who have money to waste. The more the power increases, the more ppl will quit! These types of games can only survive if the devs balance it out to allow ftp players to enjoy as well.

[@LORDSHOCKA]

@@walkingwiththelordjesuschr3077 yea, the gap has not grown linear but exponentially.

[@HenryOManly]

Bruh, it is not pay to win. It's pay to be the best. No matter how much you spend you get matched up with similar people as you. You spend 0 dollars you fight other people who spent 0, you spend 30k you fight 30k people. Why is it so hard for people to have fun while not being the strongest?

[@LORDSHOCKA]

@HenryOManly i have yet to see a game mode or any event where I fought people all exactly the same power range as my marches. I've had matches with hq25s and matches with guys running 55m marches. Server wars, desert Storm, are all the same. Rarely are they completely balanced and little 20m march guys have to deal with it and hope your teammates are stronger than the other team.

[@HenryOManly]

Bruh, I've been owning level 27s since 22 and have over 2 mill kills. It's alliance based, you face similar Alliances, you must be weak in your alliance.

[@HenryOManly]

@ literally the more you lose the weaker they get and stronger for winning

[@HenryOManly]

@ I will give you winter storm though but have no clue what you're talking about with the rest

[@pkkkks]

Where do you get matched with the same? Desert storm is alliance vs alliance, warzone duel is server vs server, so you are facing whales at some point
